New and Original Work
Gallery Nucleus proudly presents the first solo exhibition by Edwin Ushiro.
Edwin Ushiro enlightens us with new work from his series reviving childhood stories. Influenced by ghost stories and the unexplainable, Ushiro takes us to a place where the these memories become a fantasy and ultimately part of the viewing experience. He believes that these stories and tales make the world a more interesting place to live in. As Ushiro focuses on telling stories in his work, his childhood found its way into the art. Ushiro's work creates a challenging experience as he strives to reopen those unexplainable moments.
